Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baqaei said nuclear negotiations and sanctions relief talks will begin within 60 days of signing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. He stated the full text will be published on signing day, and that all restrictions on oil, petrochemical, and derivative sales will be immediately lifted upon signing Friday.
Iran has published its most detailed breakdown yet of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, providing specific timelines for nuclear talks, sanctions relief, and maritime security arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baqaei stated on Monday that nuclear negotiations and sanctions removal talks will begin within 60 days of the MoU's signing. The full text of the agreement will be released on the day of signing, scheduled for Friday, Baqaei said.
According to a report by Tasnim, citing an informed source, the finalized military and sanctions clauses include several operational timelines: Article 4 requires US combat forces to leave the vicinity of Iran within 30 days of a final agreement; Clause 9 freezes both US regional troop increases and Iranian nuclear actions during negotiations; Article 9 blocks new US sanctions during the 60-day period; and Article 7 commits to lifting all primary, secondary, UN Security Council, and IAEA Board of Governors sanctions after a final agreement. Article 11 initiates waivers on oil, petrochemical, shipping, and insurance sanctions on June 19.
The spokesperson added that the release of Iran's blocked assets and compensation for war damages are economic priorities in the memorandum, with the US committed to implementing them. All restrictions on the sale of oil, oil derivatives, and petrochemical products will be immediately lifted upon signing Friday, he said.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Baqaei stated that Iran is not merely seeking to collect fees but will design and collect costs related to navigation services, environmental protection, and ship insurance provided jointly by Iran and Oman, with both countries ensuring maritime security and safe passage.
The desk has reported extensively on this emerging framework since Friday, when President Trump confirmed an imminent 60-day ceasefire and Hormuz reopening. The details published Monday represent the most specific Iranian breakdown of the MoU's articles to date, though the text remains unsigned and subject to the negotiation process Baqaei described.
